I agree with the above. Also you CAN switch back to regular oil with no problem.

Just a stupid thought, but say someone was burning oil. Wouldnt it be better to have synthetic in? because synthetic burns 10 times hotter than normal oil(Or something in that area). Wouldnt you feel less loss of power?

Durign engine break in, you want to use a conventional oil, so that things arent' TOO slippery, and seat properly, as engine mileage increases, it is more acceptable to switch to a synthetic to mitigate frictional wear.
